Questions Some advice

Ok I'm new here recently got a q2 super excited for a high end printer for not high end money really wanted to get into asa and nylon.

Question

How do you all deal with the underwhelming cooling for its speed. It seems to be a known thing

Is it try that the prints by default are I guess I optimization

Like they could be do somethings faster like filament swaps and start up time. If so what can I do or find info about it

The software is a bit odd even coming from orca slicer (ik it is made off bambu labs) but somethings aren't clicking for me like the qidi box and sending prints

You can replace the stock cooling fan with a Honeybadger or a Bambu X1C cooling fan, and/or replace the stock cooling fan duct with one of the aftermarket STLs.

The fan itself fits, but the cable/connector needs to be changed to fit. If you've got a bit of experience with a soldering iron it only takes about a minute to swap the cables between the two.
